Could it be...

Raymonde Delaunois , who sang in both?

[Not, it's those two guys below who wrote the words. -tterrace]

Dynamic duo

Are you referring to the statue of Goethe & Schiller almost camouflaged by shrubbery at right?

When this photo was taken, the duo were located near the site of DeYoung Museum. Sometime in the 1920s they were evicted and moved across the Music Concourse to their present location next to the Academy of Sciences.

The statues?

Goethe and Schiller.

Another hint

The ghost of John McLaren is pleased that finding the famous is proving to be difficult.

Guess

Maybe Geraldine Farrar?

[Not metallic enough. -tterrace]

Hint

Beethoven's Ninth, Gounod's Faust.
